Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your

new product, please keep these safety tips in mind:

The Issue

• The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend

and larger flat panel displays are popular purchases. However,

flat panel displays are not always supported on the proper stands

or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

• Flat panel displays that are

inappropriately situated on dressers,

bookcases, shelves, desks,

speakers, chests or carts may fall

over and cause injury.

TOSHIBA Cares!

• The consumer electronics industry

is committed to making home

entertainment enjoyable and safe.

Tune Into Safety

•

One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations

for the safe installation and use of your flat panel display.

• Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for

proper use of this product.

• Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and

television sets.

• Don’t place flat panel displays on

furniture that can easily be used as

steps, such as a chest of drawers.

• Remember that children can

become excited while watching a

program, especially on a “larger

than life” flat panel display. Care

should be taken to place or install

the display where it cannot be

pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.

• Care should be taken to route all cords and

cables connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be

pulled or grabbed by curious children.

Wall Mounting: If you decide to wall mount your

flat panel display, always:

• Use a mount that has been recommended by the display

manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory (such

as UL, CSA, ETL).

• Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount

manufacturers.

• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your

flat panel display, contact your retailer about professional

installation.

• Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is

appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted

to walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction. If you

are unsure, contact a professional

installer.

• A minimum of two people are

required for installation. Flat panel

displays can be heavy.

CHILD SAFETY:

It Makes A Difference How and Where You Use Your Flat

Panel Display

Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Overview of cable types

Cables can be purchased from most stores that sell

audio/video devices. Before purchasing any cables, be

sure of connector types required by your devices and the

length of each cable.

Coaxial (F-type) cable

Coaxial (F-type) cable is used for connecting your

antenna, cable TV service, and/or cable converter box to

the ANT/CABLE input on your TV.

Standard A/V cables (red/white/yellow)

Standard A/V cables (composite video) usually come in

sets of three and are for use with video devices with

analog audio and composite video output. These cables

(and the related inputs on your TV) are typically color-

coded according to use: yellow for video, red for stereo

right audio, and white for stereo left (or mono) audio.

S-video cable

S-video cable is for use with video devices with S-video

output. Separate audio cables are required for a complete

connection.

Note: An S-video cable provides better picture performance

than a composite video cable. If you connect an S-video cable,

be sure to disconnect the standard (composite) video cable or

the picture performance will be unacceptable.

Component video cables (red/green/blue)

Component video cables come in sets of three and are for

use with video devices with component video output.

(ColorStream

is Toshiba’s brand of component video.)

These cables are typically color-coded red, green, and

blue. Separate audio cables are required for a complete

connection.

Note: Component video cables provide better picture

performance than a standard (composite) video or S-video

cable.

HDMI

™

cable (with HDMI Logo “ ”)

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable is

for use with devices with an HDMI output. An HDMI

cable delivers digital audio and video in its native

format. This cable carries both video and audio

information; therefore, separate audio cables are not

required for a complete HDMI device connection (-

page 16, 17 and 19).

Note: An HDMI cable provides the best audio and picture

performance.

Dual-wand IR blaster cable

Dual-wand IR blaster cable is for use with video devices

with IR (infrared) remote control. This cable can be used

with the TV’s IR pass-through feature (- page 15).

Optical audio cable

Optical audio cable is for connecting receivers with

Dolby Digital or PCM (pulse-code modulation) optical

audio input to the TV’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal

(- page 18).

Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable

Analog RGB (15-pin) computer cable is for connecting a

PC to the TV’s PC IN terminal (- page 19).

Note: Separate audio cables are required for a complete

connection.

About the connection illustrations

You can connect different types and brands of devices to

your TV in several different configurations. The

connection illustrations in this manual are representative

of typical device connections only. The input/output

terminals on your devices may differ from those

illustrated herein. For details on connecting and using

Chapter 2: Connecting your TV

Connecting a device to the IR OUT

infrared terminal using the IR

blaster cable for IR pass-through

device control

You can use the TV’s IR OUT terminal (infrared pass-

through) to remotely operate (through the TV) many

infrared remote-controlled devices (such as Toshiba

infrared remote-controlled VCRs or DVD players)

enclosed within an entertainment center or similar

cabinet. Without the IR OUT connection, the device

typically would need to be visible to operate it remotely.

You will need:

• dual-wand IR blaster cable (- page 12)

• other audio/video cables as required to connect the

device(s) to the TV (- pages 13–16)

To connect the IR blaster cable:

1 Locate the infrared sensor on the front of your

device. This sensor is marked on some devices.*

2 Align one of the IR blaster cable’s wands about 1

inch away from the infrared sensor on the front of

the device and attach it using double-sided

mounting tape. If you have a second device, attach

the second wand in a similar manner. (See

illustration.)

Note: If you do not have a second device, coil the second

wand with a rubber band and leave it behind the TV.

3 Plug the IR blaster cable’s plug into the TV’s IR OUT

terminal.

To control the device(s):

Point either the device’s remote control or the TV remote

control (that you previously programmed to operate the

device; - Chapter 3) toward the front of the TV and

press the button for the desired function. The signal

passes from the remote control through the TV to the

device via the IR blaster cable.

Note:

• If you use the device’s remote control to operate the device,

you also will need to use the TV’s remote control to operate

the TV.

• The IR pass-through feature does not support all

IR-controlled devices; satisfactory performance may not be

attainable with certain devices.

Front of IR-controlled DVD player (for example)

Front of IR-controlled audio device (for example)

Infrared

sensor

IR blaster cable wand

(approx.1 inch from device)

TV upper back panel

*If you cannot locate the device’s infrared

sensor:

1 Turn OFF the device.

2 Starting at the lower left corner of the device, place

the end of the device’s remote control (with the

infrared emitter) so it touches the front of the

device and press POWER. (Do not use the TV’s

remote control for this step.)

3 If the device turns on, the point at which the remote

control touched the device is the location of the

sensor.

4 If the device does not turn on, move the remote

control slightly to the right and press POWER

again.

5 Repeat step 4 until you locate the device’s infrared

sensor.

Digital bitstream signals. Older audio systems that are not

compatible with standard optical out signals may not work

properly, creating a high noise level that may damage

speakers or headphones. THIS DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED

BY YOUR WARRANTY.

• The DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminal may not output some

digital audio sources because of copy restrictions.

• The Dolby Digital format is only available when tuned to a

digital RF channel.

Chapter 3: Using the remote control

Preparing the remote control

for use

Your TV remote control can operate your TV and many

other devices such as cable converter boxes, satellite

receivers, VCRs, DVD players, and HTIBs (home theater

in a box), even if they are different brands.

If you have a Toshiba device:

Your TV remote control is preprogrammed to operate

most Toshiba devices (- page 24).

If you have a non-Toshiba device or a Toshiba

device that the remote control is not

preprogrammed to operate:

You can program the TV remote control so it will operate

the other device (- pages 22–32).

Installing the remote control

batteries

1 Slide the battery cover off the back of the remote

control.

2 Install two “AA” size alkaline batteries. Match the +

and – symbols on the batteries to the symbols on the

battery compartment.

3 Slide the battery cover on to the remote control until

the lock snaps.

Caution: Batteries must not be exposed to excessive heat

such as sunshine, fire or the like.

Note:

• Be sure to use AA size alkaline batteries.

• Dispose of batteries in a designated disposal area.

• Batteries should always be disposed of with the

environment in mind. Always dispose of batteries in

accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

• If the remote control does not operate correctly, or if the

operating range becomes reduced, replace batteries with

new ones.

• When necessary to replace batteries in the remote control,

always replace both batteries with new ones. Never mix

battery types or use new and used batteries in combination.

• Always remove batteries from the remote control if they are

dead or if the remote control is not to be used for an

extended period of time. This will prevent battery acid from

leaking into the battery compartment.
